The bacterial and fungal communities of the larval midgut of Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) varied by feeding on two cruciferous vegetables

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Spodoptera frugiperda is a highly polyphagous pest worldwide with a wide host range that causes serious losses to many economically important crops. Recently, insect-microbe associations have become a hot spot in current entomology research, and the ...

Transcriptome sequencing of Tessaratoma papillosa antennae to identify and analyze expression patterns of putative olfaction genes

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Studies on insect olfaction have increased our understanding of insect’s chemosensory system and chemical ecology, and have improved pest control strategies based on insect behavior.

Invasive species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Aquatic ecosystems are exposed to the influence of non-indigenous (non-native, alien or exotic) species. The Danube River is not an exception. Non-indigenous species were recorded among algae, aquatic macrophytes, macroinvertebrates and fish. Also, introduction of allochthonous fish species caused introduction of new fish parasites (Djikanovic et al ...

A within-lake occupancy model for starry stonewort, Nitellopsis obtusa, to support early detection and monitoring

open access: yesScientific Reports
To efficiently detect aquatic invasive species early in an invasion when control may still be possible, predictions about which locations are likeliest to be occupied are needed at fine scales but are rarely available.

A proposed national strategic framework for the management of Cactaceae in South Africa

open access: yesBothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2017
Background: South Africa has a long history of managing biological invasions. The rapid increase in the scale and complexity of problems associated with invasions calls for new, more strategic management approaches.

Thermal aerial culling for the control of vertebrate pest populations

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Helicopter-based shooting is an effective management tool for large vertebrate pest animals. However, animals in low-density populations and/or dense habitat can be difficult to locate visually. Thermal-imaging technology can increase detections in these

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
